It was 6 months ago last friday the 25 that I had my gastric  bypass!! and Iam down 106 pounds!!! Iam so happy! Is it normal to be one weight then gain a few days later?? Example   monday 364 the Wednesday be 365?? It seems like I have been going up and down but as soon as iam out of the 70s I keep lossing. I hope somebody can answer my question!  thanks  liz

Liz, It is completely normal for weight to flucuate...I have my "official" weight day of Friday...but, I weigh myself every day...it goes up and down all week...but, I take the Friday weight as official for the week.  I have had many plateus...but, it all works out...I am 1 year out as of 5/10 and have lost 114 pounds...14 to go...don't worry...it will come!  Good Luck!

Liz, Congrats on your milestones!! That is awesome!! Yes, the scale will move around daily becasue of water, time of day/month, etc. My best advice is to stay off of it!! Jump on maybe once a week if you have to but not any more than that!! You will only drive yourself nuts & likely do something you aren't supposed to do!! As long as you are following your dr's program the weight will come off!!! You will hit stalls - it's only natural! The key is not to get discouraged & just keep plugging along!! I, too, have just passed the 6 month mark & know what you are going through!! I only allow myself to get on the scale once a week... that's it!!! It's worked so far... 142lbs gone & counting!!! Keep up the good work!! Cece
